Definition: The Peutinger Map (tabula Peutingeriana) is a five-color 12th or 13th century copy of a late Roman map of the Roman world. The Peutinger Map is named after Konrad Peutinger, the scholar who owned it shortly after its discovery at the end of the fifteenth century.
The Peutinger map shows the Roman roads from Britain to India. It was made for civilians and provides information for travelers.
